No access of computers and internet, deprived student are getting left behind


No access of computers and internet, deprived student are getting left behind
The Issue
In this generation, we are living in a digital world. Online learning are making our living much lighter. Students have different status in life. Some students might have the capacity to have an internet or computer at their home, some don't. Especially to those student who are studying in public schools, some students would not be able to pass a particular activity or homework as the reason of not having an access in internet and computer. Some tasks are needed to have internet and computer such as in reporting, students do a lot of research in preparing a report and Computer subject, students must have an access in computer, not only for those who have one but all student must have an access so that all students will learn. Some of these students tend to pay in the internet shop for how many hours just to do their task that might lead into such problems like getting involved in computer games that most likely to lead into addiction. While some students lack financial support that they couldn't do their task that might lead the student to fail in that particular subject and will cause the student to not continue anymore his/her studies.
Today, many schools continue to struggle with limited budgets for acquiring enough desktop computers and laptops. According to a broadband policy brief released by Arangkada Philippines last year, almost 80 percent of public schools in the Philippines still do not have Internet access. — According to Rappler.
If these students would have an access in computer and internet, their lives would be much easier and convenient. If the school provides computer for their students, these students would have no reason for not passing the particular task. Instead that they will feel discouraged, they will be motivated in their school performances, knowing that they have access in computer for their school tasks and they will not be left behind by the other students.
What's the use of education if there are still students — youth, are still being left behind? Is the school are only for those who can afford it? What about those who cannot? Education is free for those who are willing. But few can make. Make sure to do your part as a citizen who is dedicate and passionate to contribute in ensuring that students can get equal access in this right.
